Foundations Series: The Scriptures
THE SCRIPTURES
We believe the Bible is God’s written revelation to man. We believe that the Bible is the sole authority for faith and practice and is fully sufficient for every spiritual need. Its sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are authoritative and sufficient for the believer. As originally written, every word of Scripture was spoken by God to Spirit-controlled men; therefore, it is incapable of error and perfectly accurate in all matters to which it speaks. It is the supreme standard for all human conduct and should be interpreted according to the original authorial intent considering its language, grammar, context, and historical setting.
